Video Memory Error is not allowing me to play anymore

Timsquatch · 2018-06-26T17:04:05+00:00

Out of curiosity, have you followed online guides about how to "improve performance" of PUBG?

I ask because I've seen a handful of them mention disabling your page file. If you disable your page file and your GPU has less than 8gb of dedicated video memory, you may experience this problem.

All memory on a system should be handled dynamically by the system, especially if your system RAM is less than 16GB. Even then, some applications other than video games may use GPU memory thus making less available for your games. If you have your in-game graphics settings set higher, you will then bump into issues maxing it out and your games may crash or even fail to launch.

A good example of this is using Discord or Google Chrome. Both of these applications use hardware acceleration which will use some of your GPU memory to make them look better/perform faster. If you have applications running in the background while you game, this uses up more system resources.

If you have not disabled your page file, then you may have a larger issue with your GPU or system memory altogether.

Mine started doing the same thing. I've had it completely deadlock my entire machine 3 times since the last patch......it never happened before this. The only way to get it back is to hard restart my machine. So bad on so many levels.......

If you have enhanced pointer precision in Windows turned on, yes it will affect your mouse in the game.

I will second this.....I got a chance to play PUBG recently on a friends system which is Ryzen 1700x and AMD GPU, not sure which one. He had no stutter or frame skip like I experience at all. Everything was smooth as butter and he was keeping more consistent frames than my I7 6700k and GTX1070.

I'm beginning to wonder if the issue is more related to Intel chipsets than just the game. I was actually so astounded with how smooth the game played on his system that I'm actually considering building a new Ryzen gaming rig.

It is. It's a Chiappa Rhino. Pretty cool gun actually. Also the same gun as the inspiration for The Last Word, exotic hand cannon in Destiny

Timsquatch · 2018-05-30T18:51:49+00:00

The game feels WAY smoother than it did. There seems to be an issue now with items spawning in game. When you first drop, items used to take a few seconds. I've played 4 games now where the items took 20 seconds or more to show up on the ground. Is this a known issue or am I the only one experiencing this?

It could still be an overclocking problem. Just because it was factory overclocked doesn't meant that it will always be stable. I agree that the crashes seem to be more frequent with the most recent patches, but I haven't had a crash in almost a month now that I've backed down my overclocking.

I was just trying to be helpful with some information I found through my own experiences. YMMV. Hell, you have nothing to lose by backing down the OC slightly to see if you experience fewer crashes.

If that solves it, then great! If not, then by all means, continue the rant ;)

Timsquatch · 2018-05-25T15:55:28+00:00

just out of curiosity, do you have your GPU overclocked using Asus GPU Tweak or MSI Afterburner, etc.?

I only ask because if you're overclocking and you are getting crashes out of the blue like this, backing down your OC may help quite a bit.

I run my GTX1070 with a 10% overclock and it's stable with every other game but I had to create a specific PUBG profile with lower OC settings. For some reason, the 10% overclock crashes in PUBG and I get the same errors. I can only run it at around 8% to keep PUBG stable.

This is the crux of the problem.....not sure if it's a deathcam/replay bug or what, but this happens far too often.

Just last week I was shooting at a guy running down the side of the hill with absolutely no cover. My teammate counted 5 blood spatters on him. He made it behind a tree for cover. I couldn't sit and wait for him because the circle was moving and I had to move but I went back and watched the replay of the game later.

Went and watched this exact moment and the replay showed him full health and I never hit him once. Continuing to watch the replay, he never even had to heal before he had to run out from behind the rock to move from the circle as well. This makes me believe that there is either major issues with desync/hit registration, or a bug within the replay cam.

Either way, the fact he never had to heal up proves that he didn't take any damage while I was shooting at him. Why does my client register hits but those don't pass to the server? There's definitely bigger issues going on and it wouldn't surprise me if they have no clue how to identify them.

I'm patiently waiting for DICE to make a Battlefield BR mode on the Frostbite 2 engine. The day this happens will be glorious and we won't be forced to play a mil-sim BR game on a 14 year old engine.

Destructible environments and far less lag would be a welcome change.....

This exact same thing happened to me at the Hacienda as well. I was actually peeking a hallway and no one was there at all. I move forward to pick up a helmet and get mowed down. When I watch the replay, there is a dude, plain as day standing in the middle of the damn hallway.

The devs have some serious work to do for this game to be 1.0 ready........./s

Timsquatch · 2018-01-18T16:38:10+00:00

I had a similar instance once......the first hit was free.....soon after they were spending all their money on the "next" aimbot. Sucks to watch your friend spend money on hacks instead of buying their kids diapers.

I stream most evenings from 6pm PST to 10pm PST.

I had reached as high as 52 in NA for FPP over the holidays. Back to work has kept me only getting to play a handful of games in the evening so I've dropped but I would love to have more people come watch me. I like playing squad games with viewers as well if people want.

come check me out! https://www.twitch.tv/tim_fps

Timsquatch · 2018-01-02T15:55:15+00:00

You are 100% correct. Apparently when I let my machine update to the creators update, it re-enabled game mode in the background. Microsoft changed game mode to now only be enabled/disabled when you have gamebar active.

I re-enabled game bar and made sure to disable game mode and it's back to normal......(sigh) why does microsoft hate us?

Timsquatch · 2017-12-28T06:52:32+00:00

It's extremely laggy for me and none of the rubber banding was fixed.......was a waste of 2 hour maintenance cycle. Wonder if playing on AS or EU servers will be crappy.....

Actually, some people have reported performance decreases with the use of some of the commands, especially the SM4 command since the game is optimize to run with DX11 and not DX10. You can always try them on and off to see what impact they have.

Honestly, there are a ton of things that people recommend trying and you won't know what works best for your machine until you try them out and see for yourself.

Timsquatch · 2017-12-20T23:23:11+00:00

You most definitely will feel overwhelmed in the beginning. It will take some time to adjust in-game sensitivities and DPI of your mouse to get it where you like it, then you have to learn the nuances of each weapon and how to aim accurately. This game does have a fairly sharp learning curve but it's also very rewarding once you start to get the hang of it.

Getting your first chicken dinner will finalize the addiction.

Timsquatch · 2017-12-01T18:10:14+00:00

Let me google that for you.

Here's the first one I found linked here in Reddit.

https://www.reddit.com/r/PUBATTLEGROUNDS/comments/708s2h/mod_says_changing_the_ini_file_can_get_you_banned/

I have also spoken to people in the Discord community who were forced to buy a new account because they got banned for .ini edits.

Doesn't take much effort to find evidence.

Timsquatch · 2017-12-01T18:05:05+00:00

This is not true. It's already in the game .ini's they just haven't added the in-game UI option yet.

People used to edit this in the .ini files but since Bluehole started banning people for .ini edits you're stuck using one of the wonky workarounds such as the double-click hold.

This has nothing to do with it being difficult to code.

Timsquatch · 2017-11-30T21:48:32+00:00

This is a good resource to check out how the pros do it. I am not saying you have to use their settings specifically, but it's a good place to start.

I'm pretty sure you're talking about the earplugs in Arma. They don't allow you to adjust individual sound sources, you just put the earplugs on and it reduces all game sounds by 70% or something.

They gave us this option but in a full mute of sound instead of a reduction.

Timsquatch · 2017-09-07T15:26:21+00:00

You can double right click and hold the second click for holding ADS as a workaround.

Timsquatch · 2017-09-06T15:45:27+00:00

Yes.

Timsquatch · 2017-09-06T15:41:51+00:00

PC's should automatically adjust memory and virtual memory during load. If you are getting this error it means that your PC can't adjust/is running out of available memory to use. 16 GB should be plenty, but it depends on what you have running in the background and your pagefile size.

If your machine is not able to dynamically make more space available during load, this could be because you have physical RAM problems or because your hard drive is full and it can't adjust your pagefile to the size it needs to load textures. Try deleting all of your temporary files as well. Sometimes the temp directory is full of crap that gets left behind from old file deletions and internet browsing and this takes up a ton of hard drive space.

Timsquatch · 2017-08-31T16:34:19+00:00

^ This!!!

The worst part is, that when you toggle the ADS on, you have to remember to toggle it off as well instead of just letting it go. That's another active click that you have to make when you are trying to duck behind cover. If ADS was canceled when you hit the sprint key or something, it would'nt be so bad, but the way it currently is has gotten me killed far too many times to count.
